Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali: An All-Out Biography Muhammad Ali’s full name, originally Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. Date of birth: January 17, 1942 June 3, 2016, passed away. Place of birth: Louisville, KY, USA Nicknames: “The Greatest,” “The People’s Champion,” “The Louisville Lip” 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 meters) tall Class of Weight: Heavyweight Childhood and Recreational Career Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr., the father of Muhammad Ali, was born in Louisville, Kentucky. At twelve, after his bicycle was stolen, he took up boxing in an attempt to get even with the offender. His boxing technique was honed under the tutelage of Joe E. Martin and subsequently Fred Stoner. During his amateur career, Ali won multiple championships, including two national Golden Gloves titles, six Kentucky Golden Gloves titles, and a national title from the Amateur Athletic Union. He had a 100-win and 5-loss amateur record. Ali gained national recognition in 1960 after winning a gold medal in the light heavyweight class at the Olympics in Rome. Career in Professionals Early Professional Experience and Name Change After turning pro in 1960, Ali won his first 19 matches. In a significant upset, he defeated Sonny Liston to win the heavyweight world title in 1964 at the age of 22. Soon afterwards, he declared his faith in Islam and renounced his “slave name,” becoming Muhammad Ali. The Golden Years and the Banishment Ali was known for his speed, agility, and unconventional boxing style. He once claimed to be able to “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” He often successfully defended his title, winning big battles against Floyd Patterson, Ernie Terrell, and Liston (rematch). Due to his opposition to the Vietnam War and his religious convictions, Ali declined to be drafted into the American military in 1967. Due to his rejection, he was placed under custody, had his boxing titles revoked, and was prohibited from boxing. Ali was found guilty of avoiding the draft and given a five-year prison term; however, he was granted parole after an appeal. The Supreme Court reversed his conviction in 1971. The Return and the “Century Battle” In 1970, Ali went back into boxing, and in 1971, he squared off against Joe Frazier in what was hailed as the “Fight of the Century.” Ali suffered his first career loss, losing to Frazier by unanimous decision. Getting the Title Back In the storied “Rumble in the Jungle” held in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) in 1974, Ali squared off against George Foreman. Ali regained the heavyweight title by using the “rope-a-dope” tactic to absorb Foreman’s potent blows and eventually knock him out in the eighth round. In the next “Thrilla in Manila” in 1975, Ali faced off against Frazier once more and prevailed in a vicious bout regarded as one of the best boxing matches in history. Retirement and a Late Career Before falling short against Leon Spinks in 1978, Ali successfully defended his title multiple more times. Later that year, he prevailed in the rematch and made heavyweight title history by being the first boxer to win it three times. After a few more fights, Ali announced his retirement in 1981, finishing his career with a record of 56 wins (37 via knockout) and 5 losses. Activism in Later Life Along with his boxing prowess, Ali was also well-known for his advocacy and endearing demeanour. He was a strong supporter of social justice and civil rights, and he became a symbol of resistance due to his opposition to the Vietnam War. His values and tenacity won him great respect despite his divisive opinions. Parkinson’s disease, which was identified in 1984, was assumed to have an association with Ali’s boxing career. He continued to be involved in public life, taking part in charitable endeavours and showing up at occasions like the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, when he lit the Olympic torch. Individual Life Ali had nine children from his four marriages. Laila Ali, his daughter, pursued a career in boxing professionally after him. History Most people agree that Muhammad Ali is one of the best athletes in history. His impact is felt in social, political, and cultural arenas in addition to sports. In addition to his prowess in the ring, he was well-known for his charm, wit, and outgoing personality.
